Huge boost to have key duo back… how have we dropped Lowe – fans’ reaction to Portsmouth’s line-up against Sunderland
The pair missed the 1-0 defeat at the Stadium of Light on Saturday through injury.
However, Pitman (hamstring) and Brown (Achilles) successfully came through training yesterday and feature against the Black Cats.

The wingers have been key for Kenny Jackett’s side this term but Viv Solomon-Otabor and Gareth Evans start on each flank.
Here’s how the Fratton fiahtufl have reacted to Pompey’s team on Twitter...

HUGE boost to have Pitman and Brown back in the starting XI. Goes without saying this is the biggest game of our season. As long as every player gives it their all, leaves it all on the pitch and has no regrets, that's all you can ask for. If they do that, we'll win this. #Pompey

Think that team makes an awful lot of sense. Just hope Brown and Pitman last. #Pompey
